 所望の特性を得る観点から、PPS樹脂を繊維状無機充填材で強化したPPS樹脂組成物は、繊維状無機充填材の配向により熱による膨張、機械強度、および連続的な応力がかかった際の塑性変形量に関して、異方性が発現するため、金属と比較すると設計の自由度が低く、制限がかかることがあった。また、PPS樹脂は低吸水性であるが、湿熱環境下においては湿熱膨張するため、当初の寸法を保持できないといった欠点もある。 From the viewpoint of obtaining desired properties, the PPS resin composition in which the PPS resin is reinforced with the fibrous inorganic filler is subjected to thermal expansion, mechanical strength, and continuous stress due to the orientation of the fibrous inorganic filler. Since anisotropy appears with respect to the amount of plastic deformation, the degree of freedom in design is lower than that of metal, and there are cases where restrictions are applied. Further, although the PPS resin has low water absorption, it has a drawback that it cannot maintain its original dimensions because it expands in a moist heat environment.
 近年、電子部品やカメラ部品などの精密部品は、機械的強度、難燃性に加えて、成形時のガス発生量が小さく(低ガス汚染性)、掛かる応力に対する塑性変形量が小さく、異方性がないこと(低異方性)が望まれ、さらに湿熱環境下における膨潤が小さいこと(低湿熱膨張)が求められている。 In recent years, precision parts such as electronic parts and camera parts have a small amount of gas generated during molding (low gas contamination) in addition to mechanical strength and flame retardancy, and a small amount of plastic deformation with respect to applied stress, which is anisotropic. It is desired that there is no property (low anisotropy), and that the swelling in a moist heat environment is small (low moist heat expansion).
 一般に、樹脂組成物の異方性を抑制する手法として、特許文献1、特許文献2および特許文献3のように扁平な断面形状を有するガラス繊維を充填することで、低異方性な熱可塑性樹脂組成物を提供することが知られている。 Generally, as a method for suppressing anisotropy of a resin composition, low anisotropy thermoplasticity is obtained by filling glass fibers having a flat cross-sectional shape as in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3. It is known to provide a resin composition.

 しかしながら、特許文献1では、成型収縮の異方性の改善が明示されているが、ポリカーボネートを使用しているため湿熱環境下での膨張が大きく、成形品の精密な寸法制御ができない。 However, although Patent Document 1 clearly states that the anisotropy of molding shrinkage is improved, since polycarbonate is used, the expansion in a moist heat environment is large, and precise dimensional control of the molded product cannot be performed.
 特許文献2および3でも、寸法安定性の改善が明示されているが、扁平を有するガラス繊維のみのため、温度変化時に、成形時の樹脂の流れ方向と流れに直角な方向とで膨張差が出てしまう。 Patent Documents 2 and 3 also clearly indicate the improvement in dimensional stability, but since only flat glass fibers are used, there is an expansion difference between the resin flow direction during molding and the direction perpendicular to the flow when the temperature changes. It will come out.
 そこで、本発明では、PPS樹脂が本来有する優れた機械物性、耐薬品性などの諸物性を大きく損なうことなく、寸法安定性、および低異方性に優れ、湿熱処理時の膨潤が抑制されたPPS樹脂組成物を得ることを課題とする。 Therefore, in the present invention, the PPS resin is excellent in dimensional stability and low anisotropy without significantly impairing various physical properties such as mechanical properties and chemical resistance, and swelling during wet heat treatment is suppressed. An object of the present invention is to obtain a PPS resin composition.

[Polymerization aid]
It is also one of the preferable embodiments to use a polymerization aid in order to obtain a PPS resin having a relatively high degree of polymerization in a shorter time. Here, the polymerization aid means a substance having an action of increasing the viscosity of the obtained PPS resin. Specific examples of such polymerization aids include, for example, organic carboxylates, water, alkali metal chlorides, organic sulfonates, alkali metal sulfates, alkaline earth metal oxides, alkali metal phosphates and alkaline soils. Examples include metal phosphates. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Of these, organic carboxylates and / or water are preferably used.
 上記アルカリ金属カルボン酸塩とは、一般式R(COOM)(式中、Rは、炭素数1~20を有するアルキル基、シクロアルキル基、アリール基、アルキルアリール基またはアリールアルキル基である。Mは、リチウム、ナトリウム、カリウム、ルビジウムおよびセシウムから選ばれるアルカリ金属である。nは1の整数である。)で表される化合物である。アルカリ金属カルボン酸塩は、水和物、無水物または水溶液としても用いることができる。アルカリ金属カルボン酸塩の具体例としては、例えば、酢酸リチウム、酢酸ナトリウム、酢酸カリウム、プロピオン酸ナトリウム、吉草酸リチウム、安息香酸ナトリウム、フェニル酢酸ナトリウム、p-トルイル酸カリウム、およびそれらの混合物などを挙げることができる。 The alkali metal carboxylate is a general formula R (COMM) n (in the formula, R is an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, an alkylaryl group or an arylalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. M is an alkali metal selected from lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium. N is an integer of 1). Alkali metal carboxylates can also be used as hydrates, anhydrides or aqueous solutions. Specific examples of the alkali metal carboxylate include lithium acetate, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, sodium propionate, lithium valerate, sodium benzoate, sodium phenylacetate, potassium p-toluic acid, and mixtures thereof. Can be mentioned.
 アルカリ金属カルボン酸塩は、有機酸と、水酸化アルカリ金属、炭酸アルカリ金属塩および重炭酸アルカリ金属塩よりなる群から選ばれる一種以上の化合物とを、ほぼ等化学当量ずつ添加して反応させることにより形成させてもよい。上記アルカリ金属カルボン酸塩の中で、リチウム塩は反応系への溶解性が高く助剤効果が大きいが高価であり、カリウム、ルビジウムおよびセシウム塩は反応系への溶解性が不十分であると思われるため、安価で、重合系への適度な溶解性を有する酢酸ナトリウムが最も好ましく用いられる。 The alkali metal carboxylate is a reaction in which an organic acid and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal carbonate and alkali metal bicarbonate are added in approximately equal chemical equivalents and reacted. It may be formed by. Among the above alkali metal carboxylates, the lithium salt has high solubility in the reaction system and has a large auxiliary effect, but is expensive, and the potassium, rubidium and cesium salts have insufficient solubility in the reaction system. Therefore, sodium acetate, which is inexpensive and has an appropriate solubility in a polymerization system, is most preferably used.
 これら重合助剤を用いる場合の使用量は、仕込みアルカリ金属硫化物1モルに対し、通常0.01モル~0.7モルの範囲であり、より高い重合度を得る意味においては0.1~0.6モルの範囲が好ましく、0.2~0.5モルの範囲がより好ましい。 When these polymerization aids are used, the amount used is usually in the range of 0.01 mol to 0.7 mol with respect to 1 mol of the charged alkali metal sulfide, and is 0.1 to 0.1 in the sense of obtaining a higher degree of polymerization. The range of 0.6 mol is preferable, and the range of 0.2 to 0.5 mol is more preferable.
 また水を重合助剤として用いることは、流動性と高靭性が高度にバランスした樹脂組成物を得る上で有効な手段の一つである。その場合の添加量は、仕込みアルカリ金属硫化物1モルに対し、通常0.5モル~15モルの範囲であり、より高い重合度を得る意味においては0.6~10モルの範囲が好ましく、1~5モルの範囲がより好ましい。 Also, using water as a polymerization aid is one of the effective means for obtaining a resin composition in which fluidity and high toughness are highly balanced. In that case, the amount to be added is usually in the range of 0.5 mol to 15 mol with respect to 1 mol of the charged alkali metal sulfide, and is preferably in the range of 0.6 to 10 mol in order to obtain a higher degree of polymerization. The range of 1 to 5 mol is more preferable.
 これら重合助剤の添加時期には特に指定はなく、後述する前工程時、重合開始時、重合途中のいずれの時点で添加してもよく、また複数回に分けて添加してもよいが、重合助剤としてアルカリ金属カルボン酸塩を用いる場合は前工程開始時或いは重合開始時に同時に添加することが、添加が容易である点からより好ましい。また水を重合助剤として用いる場合は、ポリハロゲン化芳香族化合物を仕込んだ後、重合反応途中で添加することが効果的である。 The timing of addition of these polymerization aids is not particularly specified, and may be added at any time of the pre-process, the start of polymerization, and the middle of polymerization, which will be described later, or may be added in a plurality of times. When an alkali metal carboxylate is used as the polymerization aid, it is more preferable to add it at the same time as the start of the previous step or the start of polymerization because it is easy to add. When water is used as a polymerization aid, it is effective to add the polyhalogenated aromatic compound in the middle of the polymerization reaction after charging it.
 [重合安定剤]
 重合反応系を安定化し、副反応を防止するために、重合安定剤を用いることもできる。重合安定剤は、重合反応系の安定化に寄与し、望ましくない副反応を抑制する。副反応の一つの目安としては、チオフェノールの生成が挙げられ、重合安定剤の添加によりチオフェノールの生成を抑えることができる。重合安定剤の具体例としては、アルカリ金属水酸化物、アルカリ金属炭酸塩、アルカリ土類金属水酸化物、およびアルカリ土類金属炭酸塩などの化合物が挙げられる。そのなかでも、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム、および水酸化リチウムなどのアルカリ金属水酸化物が好ましい。上述のアルカリ金属カルボン酸塩も重合安定剤として作用するので、本発明で使用する重合安定剤の一つに入る。また、スルフィド化剤としてアルカリ金属水硫化物を用いる場合には、アルカリ金属水酸化物を同時に使用することが特に好ましいことを前述したが、ここでスルフィド化剤に対して過剰となるアルカリ金属水酸化物も重合安定剤となり得る。
[Polymerization stabilizer]
A polymerization stabilizer can also be used to stabilize the polymerization reaction system and prevent side reactions. The polymerization stabilizer contributes to the stabilization of the polymerization reaction system and suppresses unwanted side reactions. One guideline for the side reaction is the production of thiophenol, and the production of thiophenol can be suppressed by adding a polymerization stabilizer. Specific examples of the polymerization stabilizer include compounds such as alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, alkaline earth metal hydroxides, and alkaline earth metal carbonates. Among them, alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and lithium hydroxide are preferable. Since the above-mentioned alkali metal carboxylate also acts as a polymerization stabilizer, it is one of the polymerization stabilizers used in the present invention. Further, when an alkali metal hydrosulfide is used as the sulfidizing agent, it is particularly preferable to use the alkali metal hydroxide at the same time, but here, the alkali metal water which is excessive with respect to the sulfidizing agent. Oxides can also be polymerization stabilizers.
 これら重合安定剤は、それぞれ単独で、あるいは2種以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。重合安定剤は、仕込みアルカリ金属硫化物1モルに対して、通常0.02~0.2モル、好ましくは0.03~0.1モル、より好ましくは0.04~0.09モルの割合で使用することが好ましい。この好ましい割合であると安定化効果が十分であり、一方、ポリマー収率に優れる。 These polymerization stabilizers can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The ratio of the polymerization stabilizer to 1 mol of the charged alkali metal sulfide is usually 0.02 to 0.2 mol, preferably 0.03 to 0.1 mol, and more preferably 0.04 to 0.09 mol. It is preferable to use in. At this preferable ratio, the stabilizing effect is sufficient, while the polymer yield is excellent.
 重合安定剤の添加時期には特に指定はなく、後述する前工程時、重合開始時、重合途中のいずれの時点で添加してもよく、また複数回に分けて添加してもよいが、前工程開始時或いは重合開始時に同時に添加することがより好ましい。 The timing of addition of the polymerization stabilizer is not particularly specified, and it may be added at any time of the pre-process, the start of polymerization, and the middle of polymerization, which will be described later, or it may be added in a plurality of times. It is more preferable to add at the same time at the start of the process or the start of polymerization.
 次に、前工程、重合反応工程、回収工程を、順を追って具体的に説明する。 Next, the pre-process, the polymerization reaction process, and the recovery process will be specifically described step by step.
 [前工程]
 スルフィド化剤は通常水和物の形で使用されるが、ポリハロゲン化芳香族化合物を添加する前に、有機極性溶媒とスルフィド化剤を含む混合物を昇温し、過剰量の水を系外に除去することが好ましい。なお、この操作により水を除去し過ぎた場合には、不足分の水を添加して補充することが好ましい。
[pre-process]
The sulfidizing agent is usually used in the form of a hydrate, but before adding the polyhalogenated aromatic compound, the mixture containing the organic polar solvent and the sulfidizing agent is heated to remove an excess amount of water. It is preferable to remove it. If too much water is removed by this operation, it is preferable to add the insufficient water to replenish the water.
 また、上述したように、スルフィド化剤として、アルカリ金属水硫化物とアルカリ金属水酸化物から、反応系においてin situで、あるいは重合槽とは別の槽で調製されるアルカリ金属硫化物も用いることができる。この方法には特に制限はないが、好ましくは不活性ガス雰囲気下、常温~150℃、好ましくは常温から100℃の温度範囲で、有機極性溶媒にアルカリ金属水硫化物とアルカリ金属水酸化物を加え、常圧または減圧下、少なくとも150℃以上、好ましくは180~245℃まで昇温し、水分を留去させる方法が挙げられる。この段階で重合助剤を加えてもよい。また、水分の留去を促進するために、トルエンなどを加えて反応を行ってもよい。 Further, as described above, as the sulfidizing agent, an alkali metal sulfide prepared from alkali metal hydrosulfide and alkali metal hydroxide in situ in the reaction system or in a tank separate from the polymerization tank is also used. be able to. This method is not particularly limited, but preferably in an inert gas atmosphere, in a temperature range of room temperature to 150 ° C., preferably room temperature to 100 ° C., alkali metal hydrosulfide and alkali metal hydroxide are used as organic polar solvents. In addition, there is a method in which the temperature is raised to at least 150 ° C. or higher, preferably 180 to 245 ° C. under normal pressure or reduced pressure to distill off water. A polymerization aid may be added at this stage. Further, in order to promote the distillation of water, toluene or the like may be added to carry out the reaction.
 重合反応における、重合系内の水分量は、仕込みスルフィド化剤1モル当たり0.5~10.0モルであることが好ましい。ここで重合系内の水分量とは重合系に仕込まれた水分量から重合系外に除去された水分量を差し引いた量である。また、仕込まれる水は、水、水溶液、結晶水などのいずれの形態であってもよい。 The amount of water in the polymerization system in the polymerization reaction is preferably 0.5 to 10.0 mol per mol of the charged sulfidizing agent. Here, the amount of water in the polymerization system is the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of water removed from the polymerization system from the amount of water charged in the polymerization system. Further, the water to be charged may be in any form such as water, an aqueous solution, and water of crystallization.
 [重合反応工程]
 有機極性溶媒中でスルフィド化剤とポリハロゲン化芳香族化合物とを200℃以上290℃未満の温度範囲内で反応させることによりPPS樹脂粉粒体を製造することが好ましい。
[Polymerization reaction step]
It is preferable to produce PPS resin powder or granular material by reacting a sulfidizing agent and a polyhalogenated aromatic compound in an organic polar solvent within a temperature range of 200 ° C. or higher and lower than 290 ° C.
 重合反応工程を開始するに際しては、好ましくは不活性ガス雰囲気下、常温~215℃、好ましくは100~215℃の温度範囲で、有機極性溶媒にスルフィド化剤とポリハロゲン化芳香族化合物を加える。この段階で重合助剤を加えてもよい。これらの原料の仕込み順序は、順不同であってもよく、同時であってもさしつかえない。 When starting the polymerization reaction step, a sulfidizing agent and a polyhalogenated aromatic compound are added to the organic polar solvent in a temperature range of preferably normal temperature to 215 ° C., preferably 100 to 215 ° C. in an inert gas atmosphere. A polymerization aid may be added at this stage. The order in which these raw materials are charged may be random or simultaneous.
 かかる混合物を通常200℃~290℃の範囲に昇温する。昇温速度に特に制限はないが、通常0.01~5℃/分の速度が選択され、0.1~3℃/分の範囲がより好ましい。 The temperature of such a mixture is usually raised to the range of 200 ° C to 290 ° C. The rate of temperature rise is not particularly limited, but usually a rate of 0.01 to 5 ° C./min is selected, and a range of 0.1 to 3 ° C./min is more preferable.
 一般に、最終的には250~290℃の温度まで昇温し、その温度で通常0.25~50時間、好ましくは0.5~20時間反応させる。 In general, the temperature is finally raised to a temperature of 250 to 290 ° C., and the reaction is carried out at that temperature for usually 0.25 to 50 hours, preferably 0.5 to 20 hours.
 最終温度に到達させる前の段階で、例えば200℃~245℃で一定時間反応させた後、270~290℃に昇温する方法は、より高い重合度を得る上で有効である。この際、200℃~245℃での反応時間としては、通常0.25~20時間の範囲が選択され、好ましくは0.25~10時間の範囲が選択される。 A method of reacting at 200 ° C. to 245 ° C. for a certain period of time and then raising the temperature to 270 to 290 ° C. before reaching the final temperature is effective in obtaining a higher degree of polymerization. At this time, the reaction time at 200 ° C. to 245 ° C. is usually selected in the range of 0.25 to 20 hours, preferably in the range of 0.25 to 10 hours.
 なお、より高重合度のポリマーを得るためには、複数段階で重合を行うことが有効である。複数段階で重合を行う際は、245℃における系内のポリハロゲン化芳香族化合物の転化率が、40モル%以上、好ましくは60モル%に達した時点であることが有効である。 In order to obtain a polymer with a higher degree of polymerization, it is effective to carry out polymerization in a plurality of steps. When the polymerization is carried out in a plurality of steps, it is effective that the conversion rate of the polyhalogenated aromatic compound in the system at 245 ° C. reaches 40 mol% or more, preferably 60 mol%.
 [回収工程]
 重合終了後に、重合体、溶媒などを含む重合反応物から固形物を回収する。
[Recovery process]
After completion of the polymerization, a solid substance is recovered from the polymerization reaction product containing a polymer, a solvent and the like.
 PPS樹脂の最も好ましい回収方法は、急冷条件下に行うことであり、この回収方法の好ましい一つの方法としてフラッシュ法が挙げられる。フラッシュ法とは、重合反応物を高温高圧(通常250℃以上、8kg/cm以上)の状態から常圧もしくは減圧の雰囲気中へフラッシュさせ、溶媒回収と同時に重合体を粉粒体状にして回収する方法であり、ここでいうフラッシュとは、重合反応物をノズルから噴出させることを意味する。フラッシュさせる雰囲気は、具体的には例えば常圧中の窒素または水蒸気が挙げられ、その温度は通常150℃~250℃の範囲が選択される。 The most preferable recovery method of the PPS resin is to carry out under quenching conditions, and one preferred method of this recovery method is the flash method. In the flash method, the polymerization reaction product is flushed from a high temperature and high pressure (usually 250 ° C. or higher, 8 kg / cm 2 or higher) into an atmosphere of normal pressure or reduced pressure, and the polymer is made into powder or granular material at the same time as the solvent is recovered. This is a recovery method, and the term “flash” as used herein means that the polymerization reaction product is ejected from the nozzle. Specific examples of the flashing atmosphere include nitrogen or water vapor under normal pressure, and the temperature is usually selected in the range of 150 ° C. to 250 ° C.
 フラッシュ法は、溶媒回収と同時に固形物を回収することができ、また回収時間も比較的短くできることから、経済性に優れた回収方法である。この回収方法では、固化過程でNaに代表されるイオン性化合物や有機系低重合度物(オリゴマー)がポリマー中に取り込まれやすい傾向がある。 The flash method is an economical recovery method because the solid matter can be recovered at the same time as the solvent is recovered and the recovery time can be relatively short. In this recovery method, ionic compounds typified by Na and organic low-degree-of-polymerization products (oligomers) tend to be easily incorporated into the polymer during the solidification process.
 但し、本発明に用いられるPPS樹脂の回収法は、フラッシュ法に限定されるものではない。本発明の要件を満たす方法であれば、徐冷して粒子状のポリマーを回収する方法(クエンチ法)を用いても構わない。しかし、経済性、性能を鑑みた場合、本発明の製造方法はフラッシュ法で回収されたPPS樹脂を用いることがより好ましい。 However, the method for recovering the PPS resin used in the present invention is not limited to the flash method. As long as the method satisfies the requirements of the present invention, a method of slowly cooling to recover the particulate polymer (quenching method) may be used. However, from the viewpoint of economy and performance, it is more preferable to use the PPS resin recovered by the flash method in the production method of the present invention.
 本発明では、PPS樹脂として、たとえば上記重合反応工程、回収工程を経た後、熱酸化処理を行ったものを用いることが好ましい。好ましくは、熱酸化処理工程の前に熱水処理、酸処理を含むことが好ましい。また、酸処理する工程や熱水処理する工程の前に有機溶媒により洗浄する工程を含んでもよい。 In the present invention, it is preferable to use a PPS resin that has undergone the above-mentioned polymerization reaction step and recovery step and then undergoes thermal oxidation treatment.

When the temperature at the time of heating is 80 ° C. or higher, the acid treatment effect is sufficient, the metal content does not increase, and when the temperature is 250 ° C. or lower, the pressure does not become too high, which is preferable for safety. Further, the pH when the PPS resin is immersed in an aqueous acid solution for treatment is preferably 8 or less by the acid treatment, and more preferably pH 2 to 8. When the pH is 8 or less, the metal content of the obtained PPS resin does not increase.

Further, when the acid or the aqueous solution of the acid is 500 L or less with respect to 500 g of the PPS resin, the amount of the solution to the PPS resin is appropriate and the production efficiency is good.
 これらの酸処理は所定量の水および酸に所定量のPPS樹脂を投入し、圧力容器内で加熱・撹拌する方法、連続的に酸処理を施す方法などにより行われる。酸処理後の処理溶液から水溶液とPPS樹脂を分離する方法はふるいやフィルターを用いた濾過が簡便であり、自然濾過、加圧濾過、減圧濾過、遠心濾過などの方法が例示できる。処理液から分離されたPPS樹脂表面に残留している酸や不純物を除去するため、水または温水で数回洗浄することが好ましい。洗浄方法は濾過装置上のPPS樹脂に水をかけながら濾過する方法や、予め用意した水に、分離したPPS樹脂を投入した後に再度濾過するなどの方法で水溶液とPPS樹脂を分離する方法が例示できる。洗浄に用いる水は、蒸留水あるいは脱イオン水であることが好ましい。 These acid treatments are performed by adding a predetermined amount of PPS resin to a predetermined amount of water and acid, heating and stirring in a pressure vessel, and continuously performing acid treatment. As a method for separating the aqueous solution and the PPS resin from the treated solution after the acid treatment, filtration using a sieve or a filter is convenient, and methods such as natural filtration, pressure filtration, vacuum filtration, and centrifugal filtration can be exemplified. In order to remove acids and impurities remaining on the surface of the PPS resin separated from the treatment liquid, it is preferable to wash with water or warm water several times. Examples of the cleaning method include a method of filtering the PPS resin on the filtration device while sprinkling water on it, and a method of separating the aqueous solution and the PPS resin by adding the separated PPS resin to the water prepared in advance and then filtering again. it can.

The hot water treatment temperature is preferably 80 to 250 ° C., more preferably 120 to 200 ° C., and even more preferably 150 to 200 ° C. When the hot water treatment temperature is 80 ° C. or higher, the hot water treatment effect is sufficient, the amount of volatile gas generated is small, and when the hot water treatment temperature is 250 ° C. or lower, the pressure does not become too high, which is preferable for safety.

Examples of the inert atmosphere include nitrogen, helium, and argon, but a nitrogen atmosphere is preferable from the viewpoint of economy.
 本発明では酸処理する工程や熱水処理する工程の前に有機溶媒により洗浄する工程を含んでもよく、その方法は次のとおりである。本発明でPPS樹脂の洗浄に用いる有機溶媒は、PPS樹脂を分解する作用などを有しないものであれば特に制限はなく、例えばN-メチル-2-ピロリドン、ジメチルホルムアミド、ジメチルアセトアミド、1,3-ジメチルイミダゾリジノン、ヘキサメチルホスホラスアミド、ピペラジノン類などの含窒素極性溶媒、ジメチルスルホキシド、ジメチルスルホン、スルホランなどのスルホキシド・スルホン系溶媒、アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、ジエチルケトン、アセトフェノンなどのケトン系溶媒、ジメチルエーテル、ジプロピルエーテル、ジオキサン、テトラヒドロフランなどのエーテル系溶媒、クロロホルム、塩化メチレン、トリクロロエチレン、2塩化エチレン、パークロルエチレン、モノクロルエタン、ジクロルエタン、テトラクロルエタン、パークロルエタン、クロルベンゼンなどのハロゲン系溶媒、メタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、ブタノール、ペンタノール、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、フェノール、クレゾール、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコールなどのアルコール・フェノール系溶媒およびベンゼン、トルエン、キシレンなどの芳香族炭化水素系溶媒などが挙げられる。これらの有機溶媒のうちでも、N-メチル-2-ピロリドン、アセトン、ジメチルホルムアミドおよびクロロホルムなどの使用が特に好ましい。また、これらの有機溶媒は、1種類または2種類以上の混合で使用される。 The present invention may include a step of washing with an organic solvent before the step of acid treatment or the step of hot water treatment, and the method is as follows.

 [加熱処理工程]
 本発明で用いられるPPS樹脂は、好ましくは上記酸処理、熱水処理または有機溶媒による洗浄をした後に、熱酸化処理を行ったものが好ましい。このように熱酸化処理を施すことにより、溶融成形加工時のガス発生量が減少すると共に、機械強度が向上しやすくなる。
[Heat treatment process]
The PPS resin used in the present invention is preferably one obtained by undergoing thermal oxidation treatment after the above acid treatment, hot water treatment or washing with an organic solvent. By performing the thermal oxidation treatment in this way, the amount of gas generated during the melt molding process is reduced, and the mechanical strength is likely to be improved.
 なお、ここで言う熱酸化処理とは、PPS樹脂を、酸素雰囲気下においての加熱またはH等の過酸化物もしくはS等の加硫剤を添加しての加熱による処理を施すことであるが、処理の簡便さから酸素雰囲気においての加熱が特に好ましい。 The thermal oxidation treatment referred to here is a treatment by heating the PPS resin in an oxygen atmosphere or by adding a peroxide such as H 2 O 2 or a vulcanizing agent such as S. However, heating in an oxygen atmosphere is particularly preferable because of the ease of treatment.
 PPS樹脂の熱酸化処理のための加熱装置は、通常の熱風乾燥機でもよいし、回転式あるいは撹拌翼付の加熱装置であってもよいが、効率よく、しかもより均一に処理する場合は、回転式あるいは撹拌翼付の加熱装置を用いるのがより好ましい。熱酸化処理の際の雰囲気における酸素濃度は1体積%以上、更には2体積%以上とすることが望ましい。本発明の効果を発揮するためには、酸素濃度の上限は5体積%以下が好ましい。酸素濃度5体積%以下で熱酸化処理を行うことで、熱酸化処理が過剰に進行することがなく、熱酸化処理をおこなったPPS樹脂を含む成形品の靭性が損なわれることがない。一方、酸素濃度1体積%以上での熱酸化処理を行うことで、十分な熱酸化処理を行うことができ、揮発成分が少ないPPS樹脂を得ることができるので好ましい。 The heating device for the thermal oxidation treatment of the PPS resin may be a normal hot air dryer, a rotary type or a heating device with a stirring blade, but in the case of efficient and more uniform treatment, It is more preferable to use a heating device of a rotary type or a stirring blade. It is desirable that the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere during the thermal oxidation treatment is 1% by volume or more, more preferably 2% by volume or more. In order to exert the effect of the present invention, the upper limit of the oxygen concentration is preferably 5% by volume or less. By performing the thermal oxidation treatment at an oxygen concentration of 5% by volume or less, the thermal oxidation treatment does not proceed excessively, and the toughness of the molded product containing the PPS resin subjected to the thermal oxidation treatment is not impaired. On the other hand, it is preferable to perform the thermal oxidation treatment at an oxygen concentration of 1% by volume or more because a sufficient thermal oxidation treatment can be performed and a PPS resin having a small amount of volatile components can be obtained.
 PPS樹脂の熱酸化処理温度は、160~270℃が好ましく、より好ましくは160~230℃である。270℃以下で熱酸化処理を行うことで、熱酸化処理が急激に進行することがなく、熱酸化処理をおこなったPPS樹脂を含む成形品の靭性が損なわれることがないので好ましい。一方、160℃以上の温度で、熱酸化処理を行うことで、適切な速度で熱酸化処理を進行させることができ、揮発成分の発生量が少ないPPS樹脂を得ることができるので好ましい。 The thermal oxidation treatment temperature of the PPS resin is preferably 160 to 270 ° C, more preferably 160 to 230 ° C. It is preferable to carry out the thermal oxidation treatment at 270 ° C. or lower because the thermal oxidation treatment does not proceed rapidly and the toughness of the molded product containing the PPS resin subjected to the thermal oxidation treatment is not impaired. On the other hand, by performing the thermal oxidation treatment at a temperature of 160 ° C. or higher, the thermal oxidation treatment can proceed at an appropriate speed, and a PPS resin with a small amount of volatile components generated can be obtained, which is preferable.
 熱酸化処理の処理時間は、0.5~30時間が好ましく、0.5~25時間がより好ましく、2~20時間がさらに好ましい。処理時間を0.5時間以上とすることで十分な熱酸化処理を行うことができ揮発成分が少ないPPS樹脂を得ることができるので好ましい。処理時間を30時間以下とすることで、熱酸化処理による架橋反応を制御することができ、熱酸化処理をおこなったPPS樹脂を含む成形品の靭性を損なうことがないので好ましい。 The treatment time of the thermal oxidation treatment is preferably 0.5 to 30 hours, more preferably 0.5 to 25 hours, and even more preferably 2 to 20 hours. It is preferable that the treatment time is 0.5 hours or more because sufficient thermal oxidation treatment can be performed and a PPS resin having a small amount of volatile components can be obtained. By setting the treatment time to 30 hours or less, the cross-linking reaction by the thermal oxidation treatment can be controlled, and the toughness of the molded product containing the PPS resin subjected to the thermal oxidation treatment is not impaired, which is preferable.
 このように熱酸化処理されたPPS樹脂は、末端基が変化すると考えられるが、熱酸化処理によって得られるPPS樹脂の構造を一般式で表すことは困難であるし、特性によって特定することも困難であるので、PPS樹脂を得るためのプロセス(熱酸化処理)によって初めて特定が可能なものである。 It is considered that the end groups of the PPS resin subjected to the thermal oxidation treatment are changed, but it is difficult to express the structure of the PPS resin obtained by the thermal oxidation treatment by a general formula, and it is also difficult to specify by the characteristics. Therefore, it can be specified only by the process (thermal oxidation treatment) for obtaining the PPS resin.
 本発明で用いられるPPS樹脂は、真空下、320℃で2時間加熱溶融した際に揮発するガス発生量が0.3重量%以下であることがより好ましい。ガス発生量が0.3重量%以下であると、金型や金型ベント部に付着する揮発性成分が増加せず、転写不良やガスやけが起こりにくい。ガス発生量の下限については特に制限しないが、ガス発生量を低減する手法として挙げられるポリマー洗浄や熱酸化処理に必要な時間が長くなると経済的に不利となる。 The PPS resin used in the present invention preferably has a gas generation amount of 0.3% by weight or less when it is heated and melted at 320 ° C. for 2 hours under vacuum. When the amount of gas generated is 0.3% by weight or less, the volatile components adhering to the mold and the mold vent portion do not increase, and transfer failure and gas burning are unlikely to occur. The lower limit of the amount of gas generated is not particularly limited, but it is economically disadvantageous if the time required for polymer cleaning or thermal oxidation treatment, which is mentioned as a method for reducing the amount of gas generated, becomes long.
 なお、上記ガス発生量とは、PPS樹脂を真空下で加熱溶融した際に揮発するガスが、冷却されて液化または固化した付着性成分の量を意味しており、PPS樹脂を真空封入したガラスアンプルを、管状炉で加熱することにより測定されるものである。ガラスアンプルの形状としては、腹部が100mm×25mm、首部が255mm×12mm、肉厚が1mmのものを用いる。具体的な測定方法としては、PPS樹脂を真空封入したガラスアンプルの胴部のみを320℃の管状炉に挿入して2時間加熱することにより、管状炉によって加熱されていないアンプルの首部で揮発性ガスが冷却されて付着する。この首部を切り出して秤量した後、付着したガスをクロロホルムに溶解して除去する。次いで、この首部を乾燥してから再び秤量する。ガスを除去した前後のアンプル首部の重量差よりガス発生量を求める。 The amount of gas generated means the amount of the adhesive component in which the gas volatilized when the PPS resin is heated and melted under vacuum is cooled and liquefied or solidified, and the glass in which the PPS resin is vacuum-sealed. The ampoule is measured by heating it in a tubular furnace. As the shape of the glass ampoule, one having an abdomen of 100 mm × 25 mm, a neck of 255 mm × 12 mm, and a wall thickness of 1 mm is used. As a specific measurement method, only the body of a glass ampoule vacuum-sealed with PPS resin is inserted into a tube furnace at 320 ° C. and heated for 2 hours, so that the ampoule is volatile at the neck of the ampoule that is not heated by the tube furnace. The gas is cooled and adheres. After cutting out the neck and weighing it, the attached gas is dissolved in chloroform and removed. The neck is then dried and then weighed again. The amount of gas generated is calculated from the weight difference between the ampoule necks before and after the gas is removed.
 上記前工程、重合反応工程、回収工程、好ましくは洗浄工程、加熱処理工程を経て得られたPPS樹脂のメルトフローレート(以下、MFRと略することもある)は1000g/10分以上であることが好ましく、1500g/10分以上、更に好ましくは3000g/10分以上である。MFRが1500g/10分以上であると、流動性に優れ成形性が良好となる。ここで、MFRは、測定温度315.5℃、5000g荷重とし、ASTM-D1238-70に従って測定した値である。 The melt flow rate (hereinafter, sometimes abbreviated as MFR) of the PPS resin obtained through the above-mentioned pre-step, polymerization reaction step, recovery step, preferably washing step, and heat treatment step is 1000 g / 10 minutes or more. It is preferably 1500 g / 10 minutes or more, and more preferably 3000 g / 10 minutes or more. When the MFR is 1500 g / 10 minutes or more, the fluidity is excellent and the moldability is good. Here, MFR is a value measured according to ASTM-D1238-70 at a measurement temperature of 315.5 ° C. and a load of 5000 g.
 本発明で用いられるPPS樹脂は、550℃で灰化させたときの灰分率が0.3重量%以下が好ましい。灰分率が0.3重量%以下であることは、PPS樹脂の金属含有量が適切に少ないことを意味する。金属含有量が適切に少ないと電気絶縁性に優れ、溶融流動性が良好で、耐湿熱性にも優れる。 The PPS resin used in the present invention preferably has an ash content of 0.3% by weight or less when incinerated at 550 ° C. When the ash content is 0.3% by weight or less, it means that the metal content of the PPS resin is appropriately low. When the metal content is appropriately low, the electrical insulation is excellent, the melt fluidity is good, and the moisture and heat resistance is also excellent.
 本発明で用いられるPPS樹脂は、250℃で20倍重量の1-クロロナフタレンに5分間かけて溶解させ、ポアサイズ1μmのPTFEメンブランフィルターで熱時加圧濾過した際の残渣量が4.0重量%以下であることが好ましい。残渣量が4.0重量%以下であることは、PPS樹脂の熱酸化架橋が過度に進行せず、樹脂中のゲル化物が適切に少ないことを意味する。PPS樹脂の熱酸化架橋を過度に進行するのを防ぐとPPS樹脂の靭性良好に保たれ、機械強度に優れる。残渣量の下限については特に制限しないが、1.5重量%以上、好ましくは1.7重量%以上である。残渣量が1.5重量%を下回ると、熱酸化架橋の程度が軽微すぎるため、溶融時の揮発成分はそれほど減少せず、揮発分低減効果が小さい可能性がある。 The PPS resin used in the present invention is dissolved in 1-chloronaphthalene having a weight of 20 times at 250 ° C. for 5 minutes, and the amount of residue when hot pressure filtration is performed with a PTFE membrane filter having a pore size of 1 μm is 4.0 weight by weight. % Or less is preferable. When the amount of the residue is 4.0% by weight or less, it means that the thermal oxidation cross-linking of the PPS resin does not proceed excessively and the gelled product in the resin is appropriately small. When the thermal oxidation cross-linking of the PPS resin is prevented from proceeding excessively, the toughness of the PPS resin is kept good and the mechanical strength is excellent. The lower limit of the residual amount is not particularly limited, but is 1.5% by weight or more, preferably 1.7% by weight or more. If the amount of the residue is less than 1.5% by weight, the degree of thermal oxidation cross-linking is too slight, so that the volatile components at the time of melting are not so reduced, and the effect of reducing the volatile content may be small.
 本発明のPPS樹脂組成物は、(A)ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂100重量部に対して、(B)異形断面ガラス繊維を100~250重量部配合してなる。 The PPS resin composition of the present invention comprises 100 parts by weight of (A) polyphenylene sulfide resin and 100 to 250 parts by weight of (B) irregularly shaped cross-section glass fiber.
 本発明の(B)異形断面ガラス繊維は扁平形状の断面を有するガラス繊維(以下扁平ガラス繊維と略す場合がある)であり、ガラス繊維を長さ方向に直角に切断した場合の断面において、長径(断面の最長の直線距離)と短径(長径と直角方向の最長の直線距離)の比(以下扁平率と略すことがある)が1.3~10であることが好ましい。好ましくは1.5~7、さらに好ましくは1.5~5のものである。この扁平率が1.3以上であると、樹脂組成に良好な靭性、寸法精度が備わり、10以下であれば、樹脂組成物が良好な強度を有する。 The (B) modified cross-section glass fiber of the present invention is a glass fiber having a flat cross section (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as flat glass fiber), and has a major axis in the cross section when the glass fiber is cut at a right angle in the length direction. The ratio of (the longest linear distance in the cross section) to the minor axis (the longest linear distance in the direction perpendicular to the major axis) (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as flatness) is preferably 1.3 to 10. It is preferably 1.5 to 7, and more preferably 1.5 to 5. When the flatness is 1.3 or more, the resin composition has good toughness and dimensional accuracy, and when it is 10 or less, the resin composition has good strength.
 扁平ガラス繊維は、その断面の長径が10~80μmであることが好ましく、ガラス繊維の紡糸が容易となり、ガラス繊維の強度を高く維持することができる。より好ましくは、15μm以上、50μm以下である。また、その断面の短径が2~20μmであることが好ましく、より好ましくは4μm以上、15μm以下である。 The major axis of the cross section of the flat glass fiber is preferably 10 to 80 μm, which facilitates spinning of the glass fiber and maintains high strength of the glass fiber. More preferably, it is 15 μm or more and 50 μm or less. The minor axis of the cross section is preferably 2 to 20 μm, more preferably 4 μm or more and 15 μm or less.
 なお、ガラス繊維断面の長径/短径の比(扁平率)は、走査型電子顕微鏡により観察し、無作為に選択した50本のガラス繊維の断面の長径と短径を測定してその比を算出し、その数平均を算出することにより求めた値である。 The major axis / minor axis ratio (flatness) of the glass fiber cross section was observed with a scanning electron microscope, and the major axis and minor axis of the cross section of 50 randomly selected glass fibers were measured and the ratio was measured. It is a value obtained by calculating and calculating the number average.
 扁平ガラス繊維は、同等の断面積で円形状の断面形状を有するガラス繊維に比べて比表面積が大きい。また、ガラス繊維が成形品の流れ方向へ配向しやすいため、成形時のガラス繊維同士の衝突が少なく、折損がより抑制される。また、配向により、成形品の異方性がより低減される。ここで述べる異方性とは、80mm×80mm×3mm厚みの試験片において、樹脂の流れ方向(MD方向)と流れ方向に直角な方向(TD方向)における線膨張係数の差、ならびにその角板より切り出されて得られるJIS K 7161(2014)に記載の試験片形状Type 1Bの1/2形状における(以下半ダンベルと呼ぶことがある)クリープ変形の差をいう。クリープ変形とは引張クリープ変形において、全体の変形量から弾性変形分を除いた塑性変形分をいう。異方性が小さいということは、TD方向とMD方向で線膨張係数、およびクリープ変形などの各種特性の差が小さいことを意味する。異方性が小さい樹脂組成物を用いることにより、機械強度、ウエルド強度、衝撃強度および高温剛性に優れる成形品を得ることができる。 Flat glass fiber has a larger specific surface area than glass fiber having a circular cross-sectional shape with the same cross-sectional area. In addition, since the glass fibers are easily oriented in the flow direction of the molded product, there is less collision between the glass fibers during molding, and breakage is further suppressed. In addition, the orientation further reduces the anisotropy of the molded product. The anisotropy described here is the difference in the coefficient of linear expansion in the resin flow direction (MD direction) and the direction perpendicular to the flow direction (TD direction) in a test piece having a thickness of 80 mm × 80 mm × 3 mm, and the square plate thereof. It refers to the difference in creep deformation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a half dumbbell) in the 1/2 shape of the test piece shape Type 1B described in JIS K 7161 (2014) obtained by cutting out. Creep deformation refers to the plastic deformation amount obtained by subtracting the elastic deformation amount from the total deformation amount in the tensile creep deformation. The small anisotropy means that the difference in various characteristics such as the coefficient of linear expansion and creep deformation is small in the TD direction and the MD direction. By using a resin composition having a small anisotropy, it is possible to obtain a molded product having excellent mechanical strength, weld strength, impact strength and high temperature rigidity.
 本発明に用いる(B)異形断面ガラス繊維の配合量は、上記(A)ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂100重量部に対して、100~250重量部である。(A)ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂100重量部に対して、(B)異形断面ガラス繊維が100重量部未満では異方性による差が発生する。好ましくは110重量部以上である。(A)ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂100重量部に対して、(B)異形断面ガラス繊維が250重量を超えると流動性が損なわれ、成形性に影響を及ぼす。好ましくは220重量部以下である。 The blending amount of the (B) modified cross-section glass fiber used in the present invention is 100 to 250 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the above (A) polyphenylene sulfide resin. If the amount of (B) irregularly shaped cross-section glass fiber is less than 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (A) polyphenylene sulfide resin, a difference due to anisotropy occurs. It is preferably 110 parts by weight or more. If the amount of (B) modified cross-section glass fiber exceeds 250 weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (A) polyphenylene sulfide resin, the fluidity is impaired and the moldability is affected. It is preferably 220 parts by weight or less.
 本発明のポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂組成物は(A)ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂に対して、(C)非繊維系無機フィラーを25~150重量部配合してなる。 The polyphenylene sulfide resin composition of the present invention comprises (A) a polyphenylene sulfide resin mixed with (C) 25 to 150 parts by weight of a non-fiber-based inorganic filler.
 ここで、(C)非繊維系無機フィラーは、以下の(C-a)および(C-b)を満たすことを特徴とする。
(C-a)モース硬度が2を超え4未満
(C-b)融点もしくは軟化点が380℃以上
 上記モース硬度とは、10段階モース硬度を意味する。モース硬度が2以下の場合、同時に混錬される異形断面ガラスによって変形が生じてしまい寸法安定性が悪化する。また、4以上の場合は、成形機等の加工治具の摩耗を促進してしまう。好ましいモース硬度は、2.5を超え4未満である。なお、本発明において、モース硬度は、非繊維系無機フィラーとして使用される形状(粒状)とする前段階の、ある程度の塊状態において測定したモース硬度の値を「(C)非繊維系無機フィラーのモース硬度」とする。
Here, the non-fiber-based inorganic filler (C) is characterized by satisfying the following (Ca) and (Cb).
(Ca) Mohs hardness is more than 2 and less than 4 (Cb) Melting point or softening point is 380 ° C. or more The above Mohs hardness means 10-step Mohs hardness. When the Mohs hardness is 2 or less, deformation occurs due to the irregular cross-section glass that is kneaded at the same time, and the dimensional stability deteriorates. Further, when it is 4 or more, the wear of the processing jig such as a molding machine is promoted. The preferred Mohs hardness is greater than 2.5 and less than 4. In the present invention, the Mohs hardness is the value of the Mohs hardness measured in a lump state to some extent before the shape (granular) used as the non-fiber-based inorganic filler is set to "(C) Non-fiber-based inorganic filler. Mohs hardness of.
 PPS樹脂の加工温度は300~340℃であり、樹脂にせん断力が掛かることによって、樹脂温度が380℃以上になることがある。そのため寸法安定性に寄与する非繊維系無機フィラーにはその加工温度においても形状の安定性が求められることから、(C)非繊維系無機フィラーは380℃以上の融点もしくは軟化点を有することが必要であり、400℃以上の融点もしくは軟化点を有することが好ましい。融点もしくは軟化点の上限値については特には定めないが、非繊維系無機フィラーとして実用性がある種類のものとしては2,000℃程度である。ここで融点もしくは軟化点は示差走査熱量(DSC)を用いて測定した値で定義される。 The processing temperature of the PPS resin is 300 to 340 ° C, and the resin temperature may reach 380 ° C or higher due to the application of shearing force to the resin. Therefore, since the non-fiber-based inorganic filler that contributes to dimensional stability is required to have shape stability even at the processing temperature, (C) the non-fiber-based inorganic filler may have a melting point or a softening point of 380 ° C. or higher. It is necessary and preferably has a melting point or softening point of 400 ° C. or higher. The upper limit of the melting point or the softening point is not particularly defined, but is about 2,000 ° C. as a practical type of non-fiber-based inorganic filler. Here, the melting point or softening point is defined by a value measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
 かかる(C)非繊維系無機フィラーの具体例としては、マイカ、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、ドロマイトなどの炭酸塩、硫酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウムなどの硫酸塩などの非繊維状の充填材が用いられ、これらは中空であってもよく、さらにはこれら非繊維系無機フィラーを2種類以上併用することも可能である。また、これらの非繊維系無機フィラーをイソシアネート系化合物、有機シラン系化合物、有機チタネート系化合物、有機ボラン系化合物およびエポキシ化合物などのカップリング剤で予備処理して使用してもよい。 As a specific example of the (C) non-fiber-based inorganic filler, a non-fibrous filler such as a carbonate such as mica, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate or dolomite, or a sulfate such as calcium sulfate or barium sulfate is used. These may be hollow, and two or more kinds of these non-fiber-based inorganic fillers can be used in combination. Further, these non-fiber inorganic fillers may be pretreated with a coupling agent such as an isocyanate compound, an organic silane compound, an organic titanate compound, an organic borane compound and an epoxy compound before use.
 中でも材料の熱膨張低減の観点から、マイカおよび炭酸カルシウムから選択される少なくとも1種であることが好ましく、異方性低減の観点から炭酸カルシウムであることが好ましい。 Among them, at least one selected from mica and calcium carbonate is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the thermal expansion of the material, and calcium carbonate is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing anisotropy.
 また、本発明の(C)非繊維系無機フィラーは、六方晶窒化ホウ素、水酸化マグネシウム、タルク、酸化マグネシウム、および窒化アルミニウムを除く。 Further, the (C) non-fiber-based inorganic filler of the present invention excludes hexagonal boron nitride, magnesium hydroxide, talc, magnesium oxide, and aluminum nitride.
 本発明のPPS樹脂組成物における(C)非繊維系無機フィラーの配合量は、(A)PPS樹脂100重量部に対して、(C)非繊維系無機フィラー25~150重量部からなり、好ましくは30重量部~130重量部である。 The blending amount of (C) non-fiber-based inorganic filler in the PPS resin composition of the present invention is preferably 25 to 150 parts by weight of (C) non-fiber-based inorganic filler with respect to 100 parts by weight of (A) PPS resin. Is 30 parts by weight to 130 parts by weight.
 更に、本発明においては、(B)異形断面ガラス繊維と、(C)非繊維系無機フィラーとを併用して用いることが、優れた低異方性を発現するうえで必要である。本発明は、(A)ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂100重量部に対する、(B)異形断面ガラス繊維の配合重量Xと(C)非繊維系無機フィラーの配合重量Yとの比率X/Yが1より大きく7未満である。好ましくは1より大きく5未満である。比率X/Yが1以下である場合、つまりは(B)異形断面ガラス繊維と(C)非繊維系無機フィラーの配合重量が同じであるか、(B)異形断面ガラス繊維の配合重量が(C)非繊維系無機フィラーの配合重量よりも少ない場合は、成形品の異方性を制御できず、さらには湿熱膨張時の寸法変化が著しく大きくなる。一方で比率X/Yが7以上、つまりは(B)異形断面ガラス繊維の配合重量が非常に多く、(C)非繊維系無機フィラーの配合重量が少ない場合は、異形断面ガラスの影響が強くなり、線膨張係数が増加し、さらに低異方性が失われる。 Further, in the present invention, it is necessary to use (B) a modified cross-section glass fiber and (C) a non-fiber-based inorganic filler in combination in order to exhibit excellent low anisotropy. In the present invention, the ratio X / Y of (B) the compounding weight X of the modified cross-section glass fiber to (C) the compounding weight Y of the non-fiber-based inorganic filler with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyphenylene sulfide resin is larger than 1 and 7 Is less than. It is preferably greater than 1 and less than 5. When the ratio X / Y is 1 or less, that is, the compounding weight of (B) the modified cross-sectional glass fiber and (C) the non-fiber-based inorganic filler is the same, or (B) the compounding weight of the modified cross-sectional glass fiber is (B). C) If it is less than the blending weight of the non-fiber-based inorganic filler, the anisotropy of the molded product cannot be controlled, and the dimensional change during moist heat expansion becomes significantly large. On the other hand, when the ratio X / Y is 7 or more, that is, when (B) the blended weight of the irregular cross-section glass fiber is very large and (C) the blended weight of the non-fiber-based inorganic filler is small, the influence of the irregular cross-section glass is strong. As a result, the coefficient of linear expansion increases and the low anisotropy is lost.
 更に、本発明のPPS樹脂組成物には、機械的強度、靱性などの向上を目的に、エポキシ基、アミノ基、イソシアネート基、水酸基、メルカプト基およびウレイド基の中から選ばれた少なくとも1種の官能基を有するアルコキシシラン化合物を添加することが好ましい。かかる化合物の具体例としては、γ-グリシドキシプロピルトリメトキシシラン、γ-グリシドキシプロピルトリエトキシシラン、β-(3,4-エポキシシクロヘキシル)エチルトリメトキシシランなどのエポキシ基含有アルコキシシラン化合物、γ-メルカプトプロピルトリメトキシシラン、γ-メルカプトプロピルトリエトキシシランなどのメルカプト基含有アルコキシシラン化合物、γ-ウレイドプロピルトリエトキシシラン、γ-ウレイドプロピルトリメトキシシラン、γ-(2-ウレイドエチル)アミノプロピルトリメトキシシランなどのウレイド基含有アルコキシシラン化合物、γ-イソシアネートプロピルトリエトキシシラン、γ-イソシアネートプロピルトリメトキシシラン、γ-イソシアネートプロピルメチルジメトキシシラン、γ-イソシアネートプロピルメチルジエトキシシラン、γ-イソシアネートプロピルエチルジメトキシシラン、γ-イソシアネートプロピルエチルジエトキシシラン、γ-イソシアネートプロピルトリクロロシランなどのイソシアネート基含有アルコキシシラン化合物、γ-(2-アミノエチル)アミノプロピルメチルジメトキシシラン、γ-(2-アミノエチル)アミノプロピルトリメトキシシラン、γ-アミノプロピルトリメトキシシラン、γ-アミノプロピルトリエトキシシランなどのアミノ基含有アルコキシシラン化合物、およびγ-ヒドロキシプロピルトリメトキシシラン、γ-ヒドロキシプロピルトリエトキシシランなどの水酸基含有アルコキシシラン化合物などが挙げられる。なかでもエポキシ基、アミノ基、イソシアネート基、水酸基を有するアルコキシシランが優れたウエルド強度を得る上で特に好適である。かかるシラン化合物の好適な添加量は、(A)PPS樹脂100重量部に対し、0.1~3重量部の範囲が選択される。 Further, the PPS resin composition of the present invention has at least one selected from an epoxy group, an amino group, an isocyanate group, a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group and a ureido group for the purpose of improving mechanical strength and toughness.
